vu23f001I often have too little money.
vu23f002I often worry about money.
vu23f003I only focus on what I need to pay now. I’ll see about the rest later.
vu23f004I feel like I have little control over my financial affairs.
vu23f005I could easily pay an unforeseen large expenditure today (equal to my monthly income) without needing to borrow money.

vu23f013If, at any point, I can’t manage my financial affairs properly, I ask someone for help (e.g. a friend or family member, a neighborhood volunteer or professional).
vu23f014Before I buy something, I first consider carefully whether I can afford it.
